Why do my gps points show up in different spots on 2 different basemaps! They aren't off very much, but enough to notice it! screenshot 1.png

Do not assume that the basemaps are really accurate.

Is there any way to fix this the coordinate seems to match, My data is accurate with imagery basemap, but then I add the street basemap my data is off!

Over lay the Street map on to the imagery, and set the transparency on the street layer, this will show you if the basemaps match up well, it does not sound like the street basemap is as accurate as the image basemap.

Thanks for the help, I set the transparency on street layer and found problem! The street sizes are different in each map causing this issue for me!

Are you sure you want the decimal degrees or do you want to set a different projection ?
